An IM orgy, a mug of beer, and thou

[I'm posting this mostly for my own amusement. This IM orgy is Rafe and me to a T. He was in San Francisco on business, and was whiling away flight delays for his flight back home to Seattle in a S.F. Int'l airport bar.]

rafe_t_faulkes: flight delays = more beer
dtapt: The only response is a Homeric "Woo hoo!"
rafe_t_faulkes: it should make the flight much smoother
rafe_t_faulkes: I hope
dtapt: Are you a bad flier?

rafe_t_faulkes: as I get older - scratch - as time progresses, my ease of flying declines.
rafe_t_faulkes: I blame Bush and global warming for turbulance.

dtapt: I blame your age
rafe_t_faulkes: :-O
rafe_t_faulkes: we may no longer be friends
dtapt: That was such a "you" comment, you can't possibly take offense.
rafe_t_faulkes: I think you're having a bitter day
dtapt: Century
dtapt: Remember, you'll always be younger than me
rafe_t_faulkes: LOL
rafe_t_faulkes: its sooooooo true. & not by just a little!
dtapt: Well, six months ain't much
dtapt: Let's not talk about who looks younger [Me - Editor]
dtapt: I don't want us to break up via IM again! [In 1999, Rafe and I "broke up" while IMing; I was an ass, he overreacted, and we didn't speak for four years. Ah, idiotic youth. - Ed.]
rafe_t_faulkes: :-|
rafe_t_faulkes: is that any way to talk to someone on their 4th beer in the waiting area of an airport?
dtapt: Most especially yes
rafe_t_faulkes: bitch
rafe_t_faulkes: this is literally the worst bar ever
dtapt: Taking the process so seriously is exactly what causes fear of flying. Remember, it's safer than driving
dtapt: Airport bars aren't known for their fine potables
rafe_t_faulkes: amen
dtapt: But how could they ruin a beer?
rafe_t_faulkes: by making you wait 20 minutes in between each
dtapt: And by four, you should be nice and tolerant of everything and everyone
dtapt: Lush
rafe_t_faulkes: HA! my flight is supposed to board in 20 minutes - or so they claim this 10 minute block - and I don't have time for it
dtapt: Chug
rafe_t_faulkes: no doubt
dtapt: Think of it as [omitted - Ed.], and open that throat, baby!
dtapt: Bitter and vulgar, all in 1 IM!
rafe_t_faulkes: :-O [Emoticon for "Oh, no, you di'n't!" - Ed.]
dtapt: Oh, yes i did
rafe_t_faulkes: They just delayed - again. Now My flight is at 2pm
rafe_t_faulkes: I blame you
rafe_t_faulkes: & "Texas Justace" just started on the bar's TV
rafe_t_faulkes: sp
rafe_t_faulkes: sucks
rafe_t_faulkes: but you IM spell after 4 beers on an empty stomach - this IS breakfast after all
dtapt: And now you're going to have even MORE beer because of the delay. You should be thanking me.
rafe_t_faulkes: mmmmm
dtapt: Alkie.
rafe_t_faulkes: At this point, it should be safe to say I can sleep thru the flight
dtapt: Sleep=Pass out
rafe_t_faulkes: tomatoe tomatoe (wow that looses something in IM)
dtapt: We spell that to-may-to, to-mah-to. They had to figure out a way to write the lyrics.
rafe_t_faulkes: I think this may be the first time EVER I have seen you advocate for phonetic spelling
dtapt: Mi tu.
rafe_t_faulkes: I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed
dtapt: What, that I have a phonetic alphabet all ready whenever They ask me?
rafe_t_faulkes: is that an appendix to your redraw of CA county lines proposal?
dtapt: It's all of a piece. I call it “fantasy reform.” It's a lovely time-waster.
rafe_t_faulkes: as long as it doesn't have arnie at the helm
dtapt: No, he's shipped right back to Osterreich in my regime.
dtapt: Offense against taste always incurs deportation
rafe_t_faulkes: aligns himself with the austrian pope candidate
dtapt: And they storm the Vatican with Uzis, only to be stopped by Swiss guards in 14th century garb and 21st century weaponry. Don't fool with the Vatican. It's no accident the Mafia and the Church are both based in Italy.
rafe_t_faulkes: no f-ing shit
rafe_t_faulkes: how can there be barflies here?
rafe_t_faulkes: really - this old bag next to me knows the bartender by name
rafe_t_faulkes: and has a stool imprint on her ass
dtapt: Frequent business travelers?
rafe_t_faulkes: frequent business drinkers
rafe_t_faulkes: FBD
rafe_t_faulkes: really – you’re so out of touch
dtapt: Not about frequent drinking, I'm not. But I'm so stay-at-home these days. [I rarely drink at home - it's too depressing in a studio apartment. He's one to talk, tying one on in an airport bar in the early afternoon. Hmph. - Ed.]
rafe_t_faulkes: SaHD
rafe_t_faulkes: Huntington William Sharp, saHD
rafe_t_faulkes: good on a card
rafe_t_faulkes: well - its close to their board-and-wait time, and I must fine facilities first. Have a fun evening - talk to you later!
dtapt: Bye bye, safe flight, don't let the exposed wires bite.
